Trusts, Wills & related documents

I am a difficult customer with an extreme amount of side issues. Allyson handled every problem as it came up and treated me as if my problems were no problem for her to handle. She did work for both my adult daughter and myself. These projects included; 2 wills,2 Trusts, 2 Medical Powers of Attorney..., 2 Business Power's of Attorney as well as multiple transactions re: out of State Property and Multiple Out of State Trusts. I will NEVER use another attorney unless I need someone who operates in a specialty that she doesn't handle.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Allyson and I worked together for the same client. I did the asset protection while Allyson did the revocable trust. Allyson did a great job helping the client navigate through some complex issues. The client's have expressed to me how pleased they are with her work. Allyson takes the time to understand her client's needs before offering solutions. The clients have appreciated how she has not nickeled and dimed them as many in our profession can. I highly recommend Allyson."

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
